    Alabama beats Ole Miss on a FG as time expires, 13-10. ND ties it up at 7.

    It would be helpful to others on the board if you could explain your perspective. Do you have numbers, anecdotes, or something else to support your dislike of Scoscia? I don't think anyone in their right mind would hand Rob Quinlann a job over Dallas McPherson. I don't think many managers would still have Darren Erstad playing over Casey Kotchman. I think being in a terrible division with a huge payroll makes him look a lot better than he is. Dallas is injured and out for the year, he was playing when healthy. I wouldn't start Erstad over Kotchman either, no matter how many intangibles Erstad has. I don't like Scioscia's lineup constructions - he has a Dusty-esque ignorance of OBP, especially at the top of the lineup (OC or Erstad batting second!?). Some will criticize his bullpen management, especially in the ALDS the past two years, but I don't really think it's that bad. All in all, Scioscia is an above average manager, and a good fit for a more pitching and small ball oriented team. But yeah, Scioscia is definitely very popular amongst Angels fans. I'd say Bochy is very popular amongst the majority of Padre fans too.

    TOUCHDOWN REGGIE BUSH! My fantasy team loves it! USC up 7-0. I feel sick being happy with the Trojans scoring, but huzzah!

    Notre Dame runs the flea flicker to perfection to Keith Rivers - a USC linebacker. :D

    Escobar, Donnelly and Rodriguez will not go down that easily. If needed, they'll sign Gagne and Duaner Sanchez from the other LA team too for an all-goggle bullpen.

    After the Washington and Cal game, I don't think fumbles are allowed near the endzone. Maybe it's just something that you have to call against UCLA.

    Say hi to Doug! Have fun! I'll bop him with my thundersticks. :o I think you should print out 1000 copies of your avatar to be passed out at the game. Courtesy an Angels blog, Pearly Gates: link. Or, a blog dedicated to Doug.

    Adam Miller!

    That's such a wonderful pitcture. :)

    I live in LA and get to choose from the Dominos and Little Ceaser's of the world. Let me tell you, I enjoy my visits to Chicago as much for the Giordano's and Lou Malnati's as much as seeing my extended family.

    OK, now I know you don't know anything about pizza. Makes me understand. It might be my ego talking but I probably know more about food then anybody else on this forum. Why do you apparently know more about food than anybody else?

    Down 2-1, the Angels are forced to turn to hard-throwing rookie Ervin Santana (regular season: 12-08, 4.65 ERA; ALDS: 1-0, 5.06 ERA, 5.1 IP). The White Sox counter with Freddy Garcia (14-8, 3.87 ERA; ALDS: 1-0, 5.40 ERA, 5 IP). Game-time weather: 69°F and partly cloudy, with patchy fog (marine layer!) after sunset. Winds will be blowing out from 15-20 mph. I'll be at the game, dressed in red. :) GO ANGELS!!
  15. CaliforniaRaisin
    It's pretty close.

    Hopefully Vlad, you know, shows up for this series. Tomorrow evening would be a good time for him to start hitting.

    Good job, Donnelly.
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    No, she definitely is not Kristin Kreuk. Thank goodness.

    No love for the corn? [-X The HR came after the rally monkey was posted too.

    Thank you, Orlando.

    This game is depressing enough without you mentioning that trade.

    Somehow, I'm not shocked that Bob Marley is Jon Garland's favorite musical artist.

    This game sucks. Sorry, I gotta do it: http://www.monkeymatters.com/trellix/rally1.jpg

    I'm more interested to see the reaction to a certain White Sox catcher. Since he was the one who made the call in the first place. Get off his tail, it's not his fault the ump messed up. If Barrett made that play, you'd all be lauding it as a great heads up play. Would you be saying the same thing if Bengie did that to the Sox? Shockingly, the Angels appear to have come out flat after the way Game 2 ended.

    Wow. The A's front office has to be embarrassed about either a perceived about-face or ineptitude for not getting it signed right away. I would not find this reassuring if I was one of the 20 A's fans in Oakland. :?:
